While the show is a little bit of light hearted fun if you are not careful they stick the knife into your heart and twist so watch out unless you are not afraid to shed a tear or two in front of company:)

SG1 sans Vala visit the ancient world of Verus Gen Bree in search of clues towards the weapon Merlin had been developing but they find a deserted settlement with signs that the people died where the slept/fell. Research thanks to some handy journals points to a suspicion that Morgan Le Fay may have poisoned the locals but after the team and the scientists come down with a sickness that leaves them drained and wanting nothing but to sleep the truth is revealed, a parasite is feeding off the human hosts to the point of death. The SGC send stimulants of all manner apart from some of the more exotics but it doesn’t prevent the first death of a SGC member but after the discovery of a secret passage the only creature in the vicinity is discovered which indicates it has a natural immunity and so the hunt is on and the clock is ticking.
Meanwhile Vala has been ordered to undergo some psychological testing and counselling before her acceptance into the SGC can go ahead, she treats it as a simple question and answer exercise and her meetings with Dr Hutchinson does not go well. Richard Woolsey plays her a visit and offers the support of the IOA if she is willing to spy on the SGC for them and for a while it seems she may indeed fall back into her prevailing nature but when pushed too far she lets it all out and that honesty is what tips the balance and she is accepted in the SGC with the added bonus of rubbing Woolsey’s nose in it despite the fact he was testing her loyalty in support of Stargate Command.
Indecent proposal
Morpheus us a very atmospheric episode and we’ll see many of the same tricks and style used in an Atlantis episode someway down the road but again it shows how good the set builders/designers and dressers are in when on a budget and time schedule. We got a few notable guest stars in this weeks episode and a return for a couple of them so if you think they looked familiar it was because they were:) Lots of credit to Ben and Christopher for the lizard hunt and that was a mighty fine looking reptile more so than the real prop used for when Teal’c was running back to the surface. Claudia was magnificent in this episode, we got to see the more vulnerable side of Vala and both Robert and Ben Ratner can take credit for giving her the solid performances she could work off of, it was a joy to watch her work more so because we then get treated to her more impish side with her loot comments:)
This is a good solid second episode of the season adding to the arc and setting Vala as a permanent part of the show and it is really a stepping off point for the ORI story to evolve now things are in place.
Thank you everyone for the support of the show this past week, twitter specifically has been very very busy and that’s always fun, feedback and comments always welcome as is any reviews/ratings over on itunes or stitcher. This weeks promo is for the Babylon 5 Project and next week we are back in Pegasus with the Atlantis episode Misbegotten so we hope you can join us for that.

Well here we are for the premiere episode of the third season of Stargate Atlantis No Man’s Land and we pick up after the two Wraith Hive ships double crossed the rather short sighted humans and set sail towards the Milky Way with the navigation data and specs on an upgraded hyperdrive, oh they also have McKay and Ronon just in case they get peckish on the trip. Meanwhile Weir is ordered back to Earth to face the consequences of her actions as once again the IOA flex their muscles after the fact but thankfully she has allies in the General and to a lesser degree Woolsey himself. The Daedalus and Orion are ordered to intercept the hive ships despite both being well under par but with Earth as the target there is no other option and the chase is on. As the battle is joined the Daedalus fires all it’s nukes and even though one gets through the Hive survives but as Major Lorne commanding the Orion engages he has to sacrifice his ships shield to route power to it’s drones but is successful is taking the hive down leaving the Daedalus to take on the remaining Hive with an epic stalemate the result but there is one last role of the dice.
Way to make an entrance
No Man’s Land is a gem of a season opener, we just straight back into the drama of McKay and Ronon stuck on the hive but with the brains and brawn that won’t last too long and of course it helps Michael is helping John who managed to get a ride on the Hive when it entered hyperspace, it was a good choice to have his fighter damaged even though in reality he should be space dust but at least we get plenty of fun and games as the four of them are running around the hive ship avoiding some very upset Wraith. The orders to Caldwell and Lorne were epic, they had to engage the hives no matter what the consequences and the visual effects studios did the show proud with some stunning space combat and some even better set piece more refined slower moving shots, the spinning view of the Daedalus and the galactic background is to die for. Meanwhile we get more Woolsey and the IOA but that gives us a fantastic scene with General Landry and Elizabeth which once again shows she can act alongside anyone and has been criminally wasted on the show.
So the decision to use the retrovirus once again, granted not much option as life support on the Daedalus has failed but the consequences will be far reaching and maybe with mixed results for the this and the following seasons.
Many thanks to Brad for joining us even though he was tight on free time and thanks to **ECM** for the excellent five star review over on the US itunes site. Thanks for the discussion over on the Facebook group, chat over on our G+ page and as always the constant banter on twitter which concentrates on Stargate but can cover so many topics in and out of genre.
